Chapter 285 Being A Noble Has Downsides Too
A few more days passed and things unfortunately have not gotten any better.𝓝𝑶𝑣𝓔𝓵𝗇𝔢xt.𝗰𝑜𝑚
And by that, I meant I got even more people coming to find me to get acquainted with me in that way… Some of them had even dropped the pretext of trying to be friends and went straight to looking for marriage instead.
I feel that this needs to be said but the oldest student here is like only around sixteen you know? I’m already considered someone who is older than my peers since most of them start attending this school when they are ten years of age unlike me.
Which was why so many of them seemed to have adopted Odeta’s way of addressing me by calling me their big sister.
Putting that aside, I was told by Katsuki that most of the marriage proposals I received were most likely instigated by the parents of those children who were trying to use them to get close to me.
As sad as it sounds, despite not knowing which family I belonged to, they were hoping that a child born between myself and their son would end up being just as talented as I am and bring more prestige to their house.
The only reason why no girls were asking to marry me was because no one knows I’m a futa here and I have yet to give any indication that I was one either.
I’m willing to bet that the moment they know that I have something else in between my legs, I would be receiving marriage proposals from the girls as well.
Best not to let anyone else know about it or else I would have to deal with twice the number of people I’m currently dealing with right now…
What’s more, my birthday’s coming up soon and I was already planning on inviting some of my classmates to come over as well. So I think I’d prefer that this event not become an awkward mess where it’s just them trying to propose to me the entire time…
Ugh… I really want to go and strangle that stupid guy who caused this in the first place…
I let out a deep sigh as I slumped across the desk, feeling quite worn out despite it only being the middle of the day.
“Oh my, that’s a pretty deep sigh even for you, Aster. Let me guess… Love troubles?” Lisa asked, acting the part of a caring, older sister.
I’m attending Lisa’s class since it’s the only one where I don’t need to worry about my classmates giving me weird looks.
At least over here, only Lisa is giving me the ‘I want you to bend me over this desk and fuck me until I pass out so bad’ eyes while Aaron isn’t looking.
I’m already used to that one so I can deal with it.
I sighed again, “Yes…”
My answer stunned Lisa for a moment, the Infrid obviously thinking that I might have found someone else I liked aside from her without her knowledge.
In fact, she seemed so mortified that her act shattered completely.
Thankfully, Aaron had his attention directed to me so he didn’t see it, otherwise he would have known that Lisa actually has feelings for me and not him.
He smiled at me, “Oh I heard about it. You’re getting marriage proposals from pretty much all the noble houses around right?”
Lisa quickly recovered when she heard that, “O… Oh. Ah, so that’s what you mean. Well, that’s just something that is normal within noble society I’m afraid. Since everyone knows you’re a noble now, this isn’t going to disappear at all.”
“Unnn… But that doesn’t mean I like it…” I groaned. “Can’t they all get the hint that I’m not interested?”
Aaron shook his head, “I’ve known the nobles to be especially stubborn. Plus the fact that Lady Aster is so talented, they have more reason to want you.”
Lisa nodded, “It’s made even worse when you’re choosing to keep your family name a secret. Normally they would send these types of marriage proposals as a form of letter to your house. But since they don’t know where it is…”
“They come directly to me instead…” I guessed.
Both of them nodded at me.
“There is one other way, Mistress,” Katsuki spoke up from behind. “If you were to announce yourself to already be married, most of them would back off.”
I tilted my head, “Why would that work? Isn’t polygamy a thing here? I can take more than one partner, can’t I?”
“You can, Mistress, but all of these people would like you to marry into their family instead. For Mistress, if you were to take a partner and let them marry into our family instead, most of them would choose to give up as marrying both Mistress and your partner into their family is much more difficult than just marrying Mistress into their family.”
Ugh… Why does all this political stuff have to be so complicated…
